Try Not to Get Worried

You're in good company
on Fooly Thursday. I mean bad.
I mean we've only read The Book
of Lloyd Webber so like
that's our family's guide to Holy Week

& so like #tbt, except it's Wednesday
& Jane loves money, also spikenardtry not, she calls out, pumping her legs
on the changing table try not LOTION
so I anoint her. Fool me twice, I feel OK.
I sing what I've sung every day.
This year was fucking cruel
& it's cruel work, feeling OK
& trying not and trying not
(when all the precedent for false alarm
is gone, knowing the first shoe dropped)

WHAT WE DO

NaPoWriMo was founded in 2003, when poet Maureen Thorson decided to take up the challenge (modeled after NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month), and challenged other poets to join her. Since then, the number of participants has gotten larger every year, and many writers’ organizations, local, national and even international, organize NaPoWriMo activities.
